Activity Posting (AC190)

Processing Effect

The program posts released journal entries created in Project Accounting (on AC40.1, AC41.1, and AC42.1), imported from a non-Lawson application (using AC540), or transferred from other Lawson software applications. AC190 updates activity balances and calculates billable and revenue amounts based on the billing and contract setup.

The program changes journal entries to a posted status. The date you enter in the Post Thru Date field is the date through which activity transactions are posted. The Update field determines whether AC190 is run for update or edit.

Use the Post Acct Unit Balances option to update accounting unit and resource balances if necessary. Selecting Y in this field has the same impact as running Accounting Unit Balance Post (AC191).

More Information

You can choose from a variety of selection options or filters. You can select transactions for posting by activity group or activity group list, activity, activity list, system code, or source code. You can also select by system code together with source code. Or you can combine an activity group, an activity, or an activity list with a system code, a source code, or both a system and a source code.

When you run AC190, the currency routines are used to calculate the two report currency amounts from the transaction amount.

You can inquire on released (unposted) and posted transactions using AC96.1 (Transaction Analysis). You can edit transactions in error using AC45.1 (Activity Transaction Edit).

If AC190 receives transaction from Received, Not Invoiced Report (PO135), and those transactions are related to a contract with Exclude Unpaid AP set to Yes (on BR10.1), AC190 will set those transactions' related billable flags and fields to non-billable. Those transactions are then not available for billing in Billing and Revenue Management (BR). The same logic is applied to any burden transactions created from the PO135 transactions. This functionality is used primarily by Grant Management users who cannot bill a grant organization for expenses for which they have not yet paid.

**Other Options tab:

You can post only the transactions that match the account category type, account category, or summary account category stored on the transaction in ACTRANS. For example, if the Summary Category option is select, it will only validate the immediate summary category that is being stored on the ACTRANS record. It will not climb the structure. An error message displays if you enter more than one of those parameters.
